SANTA ANA – The Bob the Builder Project: Build it exhibit opened Saturday at the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana for kids to explore and learn.

"At the Discovery Science Center we like to think of ourselves as a hands-on science museum, and this really brings out that element where the kids are interacting and building things" says Dan Nasitka, public and community relations manager for the Discovery Science Center,

"So it really ties in to that we do here on a daily basis at the science center."

The traveling exhibit, which promotes green themes from the popular television series, will be at the center until Jan. 6, 2013.

Discovery Science Center is located at 2500 N. Main St., Santa Ana, and open most days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

General admission is $14.95 for adults, or $12.95 for kids 3-14 and seniors (the Indiana Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology exhibit is an extra $10 per non-member). Parking is $4.
